Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1604 Warwick Town
Zhao Lei has always been a man of action. Two days later, he arrived at Brisbane International Airport and met Jack Williams who came to pick him up.

Jack Williams was a tall, balding man with a rosacea nose. He seemed to like drinking, but he was a good match for the status of a wine taster of the World Wine Association.

This guy is obviously straightforward, and after exchanging pleasantries, he asked Zhao Lei carelessly: "Mr. Zhao, you should also know that the situation of Randy Winery is not good, why did you make a special trip here? Do you really plan to buy that winery?" village?"

Zhao Lei said noncommittally: "In any case, let's go to the winery to have a look first. Only after I fully understand the situation of the winery can I make a final decision."

Jack Williams nodded deeply and said: "You are right, buying and selling a winery is a big business, and you must not be negligent."

Charlie Landy's winery is a four-hour drive from Brisbane, which is very common in sparsely populated Australia.While driving, Jack Williams introduced the situation of the winery to Zhao Lei, which gave him a better understanding of the current situation of the winery.

Only then did Zhao Lei know that the situation of Landy Winery was actually very good a few years ago. The grape yield was high and the quality was good. In addition, it also hired experienced winemakers, so the red wine it brewed was also very popular.In the best years, the red wine produced by Landy Winery was almost rated as one of the ten best red wines in Australia.

However, the good times did not last long, and the situation of Landy Winery was not right in the past few years.First, the quality of the grapes began to deteriorate, which directly affected the quality of the wine.Then even production started to suffer, and it got worse every year.Last year, the grape production of the entire Landy Winery was less than ten tons. For a vineyard with an area of ​​[-] hectares, this is no different from a harvest.

And the quality of the grapes is also very bad, all of them are sour and astringent, they can't make wine at all, and they are all drained by Charlie Landy.

It was precisely because of the blow last year that Charlie Landy was determined to sell the winery. For the past six months, he has been looking for a buyer who is willing to take over.

It's just that after knowing the situation of Landy Winery, all potential buyers were scared away.Who would dare to buy a winery that has inexplicably failed to harvest? Isn’t this throwing money into the water?

Speaking of this, Jack Williams also reminded Zhao Lei: "Mr. Zhao, although Pierre said that you are very good at growing crops, I suggest that you do not buy Randy Vineyard unless you are absolutely sure. Al says you're his best friend, so I can't cheat on you either."

"Thank you, Mr. Williams." Zhao Lei thanked the other party, and then asked curiously: "So... haven't you found out the reason for this?"

Jack Williams shook his head and said: "When the situation just started to deteriorate, Charlie Landy asked many scientific research institutions to do tests. The conditions of the land, air and water sources were all normal, and there was no sign of pollution at all. Later, the wine The situation in Zhuang is getting worse, and even the government has sent people to investigate, but nothing is found, which is really strange."

Zhao Lei nodded thoughtfully, becoming more interested in Landy Winery.The winery's situation is so bad, and the reason can't be found, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on the price. Zhao Lei is ready to bargain with Charlie Landy.

As for what to do after buying the winery, Zhao Lei is really not worried at all.As long as you have Zijin gourd in hand, it is not difficult to run the winery well.

A few hours later, the two came to Warwick, the nearest town to Randy Winery.Jack Williams told Zhao Lei that as long as a dozen kilometers to the south, there is Randy Winery.

There are also large vineyards near the town of Warwick, and there are obviously many wineries nearby.But only Landy Winery's situation is very bad, which is really strange.

Originally, Jack Williams planned to accompany Zhao Lei around the town, and then take him to the winery owner Charlie Landy.

However, Zhao Lei declined Williams' kindness, saying that he had bothered him for a long time, and that he could handle the next thing by himself, so he would not bother him anymore.

Jack Williams was also a busy man. Since Zhao Lei said so, he stopped insisting. After letting him get off at the entrance of the hotel in the town, he went back to Brisbane.

Zhao Lei booked a room in the hotel, and after settling down, he went to the bar on the first floor of the hotel, and said to the bar owner behind the counter, "Give me a glass of cold beer."

"Okay." The owner of the bar is also the owner of the hotel. He put a glass of beer in front of Zhao Lei with a smile and said, "For guests staying in this hotel, the first glass of beer is free."

"Haha, thank you." Zhao Lei picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, sighing with satisfaction: "This beer is not bad!"

"Of course the beer in this bar is good, but the red wine is even better." The bar owner said with a smile, "Would you like a glass?"

"Then let's have a drink." Zhao Lei nodded, and soon there was another glass of red wine in front of him.

Red wine cannot be drunk like beer, Zhao Lei followed the method taught by Song Wanqing, first picked up the wine glass and swirled it a few times, then smelled it, and finally took a sip and said: "This red wine is really good. .”

The bar owner was intimidated by the pretending Zhao Lei, and really thought he was an expert. He nodded happily and said, "You really know what to do. This is local red wine, which is very famous even in the whole of Australia."

Zhao Lei just wanted to start the conversation with red wine, so he immediately asked, "Are there many wineries near the town?"

"The town of Warwick is famous for its red wine. There are vineyards around the town, and there are more than a dozen wineries." Speaking of this topic, the bar owner told Zhao Lei triumphantly: "Many wineries produce very good red wine. , Every year, many sellers come here to buy red wine. It's a pity that you came at the wrong time, and it's not yet the time for red wine to go on sale, so the town seems a little deserted."

Zhao Lei nodded and said: "Then you are blessed, you can drink the top-quality local red wine every year."

"Of course!" The bar owner said with a smile: "I dare not say anything else, the red wine I sell here is better than most bars in Brisbane!"

Zhao Lei took another sip of red wine and nodded in agreement: "That's true!"

Seeing the bar owner laugh happily after hearing what he said, Zhao Lei seized the opportunity to ask him: "How do I get to Randy Winery? I want to go and have a look!"

As soon as Zhao Lei said this, the bar immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
